Traveler reviews
Wonderful tour
Actually I did not have too much expectation on the tour, as it is only one day, it could not cover too much. I simply want to get a rough idea about Cotswold and accumulate some information for future visit again. But the experience is beyond my expectation. The scenery is nice and I even encounter the wind-walking activity, which is stunning. My interest is architecture and garden. The tour brought me to those one thousand years' old houses, old churches, grave yard, beautiful landscape ... That satisfied me well.
Footprint tours is the best
We enjoyed our experience with Martin on two tours first was the inspector Morris tour and second was the Cotswolds day tour. Martin was excellent in delivering information and answering questions in a succinct and engaging way. Just as importantly, he kept the tours moving at a crisp pace Highly recommended
Wonderful full-day tour of the Cotswolds
Enjoyed a wonderful outing to the Cotswolds, with tourguide Martin leading the way. Martin is not only a longtime resident of the Cotswolds but is quite knowledgeable about the history of the area as well as the nuances of the local culture, and he was quite willing to share that knowledge along the way. The small group size of the tour allowed for a free flow of conversation and questions during the tour. The tour van allowed us to travel the back roads and lanes of the region, allowing us to see what most of the larger tour buses would miss. Highly recommend this tour!
Awesome experience
Absolutely lovely experience. Martin was a wonderful tour guide made more so by the fact that, not only was he extremely knowledgeable about the area and it’s history, he was a resident of the Cotswolds and really loved the country.
